NoDo Scheduled for LG Quantum, Samsung Focus

Microsoft has provided an update to the status of AT&T's Windows Phone 7 devices and the NoDo update. According to the Windows Phone Blog, the LG Quantum and Samsung Focus have passed the testing phase and are now in the scheduling phase. This means the update will arrive for the Quantum and Focus shortly. NoDo for the HTC Surround, however, is not yet ready. Microsoft explains, "The updates we deliver contain a complex stew of software code. The content often includes not only our fixes and improvements but also software supplied by companies that make the phone itself and the chips inside it. One of these third-party software 'packages' earmarked for the HTC Surround needs additional testing by both Microsoft and AT&T." Focus and Quantum users will be alerted when the update is ready for their phones, which should be within approximately two weeks.

Updates are coming out way too late, especially for such a promising system with a lot of blaring lacks. Microsoft needs to get off their butts if they want to try and make any kind of an impact against the other major operating systems.
